UP STAND FOR PS.

Application filed February 9, 1922. Serial No. 5235,2477.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that JOHN J. J AsKn', a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Michigan City, in the county of Laporte and Stateof Indiana, has invented new and useful Improvements in Cup Stands forLamps, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient meansfor supporting a cup or like utensil for cooking and heating purposesupon the chimney of a lamp, and adapted particularly for use in the sickroom or nursery and designed to provide is for its application withfacility to the lamp chimney and to serve its purpose withoutinterfering with the draft of the lamp, so that it may remain inposition on the chimney for periodic use without interfering 80 with thenormal functions of the lamp; and

with these objects in view the invention consists in a construction andcombination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is shown in theaccompanying drawings, 26 wherein:

Figure 1 is a side view partly in section of a cup stand embodying theinvention applied in the operative position to a lamp chimney.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view of a portion of the stand.

Figure 3 is a lan view of the device. The stand em odies essentially anupper or seat ring 10, a lower or bearing ring 11 from the plane ofwhich the seat ring is spaced a distance sufficient to permit of thefree circulation of air and gases through the lamp chimney indicated at12, and spring arms 18 attachedto and depending from the bearing ringfor engagement with the lamp chimney and extended above said bearingring and attached to the seat ring to form standards or spacing elements14. The means for connecting the chimney engaging arms with the bearingand seat rings may be of various constructions but as indicated consistsof rivets 15 and 16 of which the former extend through transverseoutwardly directed offsets or shoulders 17 formed at intermediateportions of the lengths of the blanks constituting said arms andstandards and bearing upon the upper surface of the bearing ring. Theupper ends of the standards 14 are curved inwardly to conform to theunder surface of the seat ring 10 which is preferably convexed upwardlyto form asuitable bearing for a cup 18 or its equivalent.

In the construction illustrated the chimney engaging arms are arrangedto fit within the chimney as shown in Figure l and are terminallydeflected outwardly as shown at 19 to substantially engage the roundedshoulder usually provided near the upper ends of chimneys of theconventional form.

he normal position of the extremities of the chimney engaging arms issuch that they lie within an area corresponding in diameter to thediameter of the upper edge or bead of the chimney so that in placing thestand it is simply necessary to locate the same above the chimney andthen force it downward until the arms have properly engaged the chimneyand the bearing ring comes into contact with the head of the chimney.

The curvature of the seat ring has a tendency to concentrate the heatupon the bottom of the receptacle resting thereon and thereby toincrease the efiiciency of the apparatus in heating the contents of thereceptacle.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new and useful is 1.A receptacle supporting stand for lamp chimneys having spaced seat andbearing rings and yielding arms depending from the bearing ring forengagement with the lamp chimney, the bearing arms being extendedbetween and secured to said rings to form spacing members or standards,and having outwardly directed shoulders or offsets resting upon andsecured to the upper surface of the bearing ring.

2. A receptacle supporting stand for lamp chimneys having spaced seatand bearing rings and yielding arms depending from the bearing ring forengagement with the lamp chimney, the bearing arms being extendedbetween and secured to said rings to form spacing members or standards,the seat ring being transversely arched to present a concaved undersurface.

In testimony whereof he afiiXes his signature.

JOHN J. JASKE.
